REASON AND LOGIC ARE WONDERFUL TOOLS TO USE IN LIFE, LOVE & RELIGION
It bothers me that people try to pit faith and God against logic and reason. Many years ago I set out to combine the two sides into a metaphysical/spiritual philosophy of my own. I began studying Ayn Rand. I then read Kant's, Critique of Pure Reason. I kept adding book after book to my reading...

IS GOD REAL TO YOU?
It's always interesting for me to chat with people of different faiths and non-faiths about their beliefs and philosophies. It gives me a window into their minds and hearts, and sometimes as I talk to them further, I learn more about their background and what brought them to their choice in...

PLUGGING INTO THE UNIVERSAL MIND FOR KNOWLEDGE, LIGHT & TRUTH
"All knowledge exists in the God-Mind and is extended into this electrical universe of creative expression through desire. Knowledge is yours for the asking." (Glenn Clark, The Man Who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe ) If the above statement is true, which I would like to believe it is, then...

SCHRONINGER'S CAT IS A VERY STRANGE CONCEPT WITH LITTLE ROOM TO PURR
Erwin Schrondinger dreamed up a thought experiment to demonstrate what he saw as the absurdity of quantum physics. He imagined a cat closed up in a windowless chamber with a plentiful supply of food and other creature comforts, but also with what he called a "diabolical device" in the form of a...

LORD OF THE FLIES: EH, THAT WOULD BE ME
There are times, when you least expect it, when strange things occur that give you strength. Last night while contemplating my navel, a facking fly kept buzzing around me. He was irritating me and driving me nuts. He had obviously entered from an open door or something and kept trying to disturb me...

What Should Be the Primary Purpose of the Government?
"A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man's self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force." (Objectivism A-Z, page 442) Ariala: I couldn't agree more, Ms. Rand. The government should be there to protect us from each other and...

SHOULD YOU ALLOW YOUR HYPOCRISIES & THOSE OF OTHERS KEEP YOU FROM TRYING?
I think one of the biggest and most lame excuses I've ever heard as to why people want nothing to do with Christianity or church is this: "The church is full of hypocrites." If you've ever said that, you're probably one yourself. I have never met someone who wasn't a hyprocrite. Look at the...

ARE WE RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH OTHER'S SOULS?
Am I my brother's keeper? Asked Cain, in referenece to his brother Abel, when addressing God. Ever since the beginning, mankind has shirked off responsibility. No one likes to feel responsible for anyone else's problems. In fact, in modern society, we're taught that we're not responsible for how we...

STARGAZERS IN JESUS’ DAY KNEW A KING WOULD BE BORN, WHAT DO THEY SEE NOW?
As most of you know I don't put much stock in astrology, however, I am well aware that the stargazers in Christ's day were not "astronomers" but probably more like astrologers. They were called the wise men. These people studied the patterns of the stars, their movements, and learned to recognize...

WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US?
Remember that song by Joan Osborne, "What if God was one of us?" When I first heard it I couldn't help thinking, God was once one of us. Jesus, the Son of God walked among humans, taking on their fallen nature, yet living without sin. He was known as a man of compassion. He went around healing the...
